Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Anton Vaino made a working visit to Beijing,
where he had a meeting with President of the People’s Republic of China Xi
Jinping and Director
of the General Office of the Communist Party of China Ding Xuexiang.

Xi Jinping passed on his best
regards to the Russian President and expressed his hope to meet with Vladimir Putin
on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Buenos Aires in November. The President
of China also stressed the importance of cooperation between the Russian
Presidential Executive Office and the General Office of the Chinese Communist

the executive offices of the Russian and Chinese presidents is a vital element
of the two countries’ strategic cooperation, Anton Vaino noted following the meeting with Ding Xuexiang. Various topical issues on the international agenda
as well as bilateral relations and cooperation between ministries and agencies
are discussed as part of this mechanism.
